Oh my God, my soul has left my body
Where did it go? What’s the reason?
With just one glance from his dark eyes
Oh my God, my soul has left my body
Where did it go? What’s the reason?
With just one glance from his dark eyes
If I don’t fall in love with him, oh my heart
I’ll go mad like a barren bush
If I don’t fall in love with him, oh my heart
I’ll go mad like a barren bush
If I don’t fall in love with him, with all my heart and soul
I will bleed and suffer in the prison of his sorrow
If I don’t fall in love with him, with all my heart and soul
I will bleed and suffer in the prison of his sorrow
Oh my God, my soul has left my body
Where did it go? What’s the reason?
With just one glance from his dark eyes
If I don’t speak of love, then what can I say?
What’s the meaning of my lamentations and my heartbroken cries?
If I don’t fall in love with him, with all my heart and soul
Why do I stay awake all night until dawn?
If I don’t fall in love with him, with all my heart and soul
Why do I stay awake all night until dawn?
Oh my God, my soul has left my body
Where did it go? What’s the reason?
With just one glance from his dark eyes
Oh my God, my soul has left my body
Where did it go? What’s the reason?
With just one glance from his dark eyes
Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
يا ألهي، روحي خرجت من جسدي
أين ذهبت؟ ما السبب؟
بنظرة واحدة، أه، من عيونه السوداء
يا ألهي، روحي خرجت من جسدي
أين ذهبت؟ ما السبب ؟
بنظرة واحدة، أه، من عيونه السوداء
إذا لم أقع في حُبه، فلماذا أتألم؟
فقد أصبح قلبي ينبض كالمَجنون
كمثل شُجيرة الصفاف، التي بلا ثمر
إذا لم أقع في حُبه، فلماذا أتألم؟
فقد أصبح قلبي ينبض كالمَجنون
كمثل شُجيرة الصفاف، التي بلا ثمر
إذا لم أقع في حبهِ، من كل قلبي وروحي
سأنزف وأتألم في سجن حزنهِ
إذا لم أقع في حبه، من كل قلبي وروحي
سأنزف وأتألم في سجن حزنه
يا ألهي، روحي خرجت من جسدي
أين ذهبت؟ ما السبب؟
بنظرة واحدة، أه، من عيونه السوداء
إذا لم أتحدث عن الحُب، فماذا أقول؟
ما معنى رثائي وصرخاتي المَفجوعة؟
إذا لم أقع في حبهِ، من كل قلبي وروحي
لماذا أبقى مُستيقظة طوال الليل حَتى الفجر؟
إذا لم أقع في حبه، من كل قلبي وروحي
لماذا أبقى مُستيقظة طوال الليل حتى الفجر؟
يا ألهي، روحي خرجت من جسدي
أين ذهبت؟ ما السبب؟
بنظرة واحدة، أه، من عيونه السوداء
يا ألهي، روحي خرجت من جسدي
أين ذهبت؟ ما السبب؟
بنظرة واحدة، أه، من عيونه السوداء
يا ألهي
يا ألهي
يا ألهي
Persian Lyrics
خدا جان دل از برم رفت
کجا رفت؟ چرا رفت؟
به یک تیر نگاه، اه به چشمان سیاه
خدا جان دل از برم رفت
کجا رفت؟ چرا رفت؟
به یک تیر نگاه، اه به چشمان سیاه
اگر عاشق نباشم ای کمر شم
به مثل بید مجنون بی ثمر شم
اگر عاشق نباشم ای کمر شم
به مثل بید مجنون بی ثمر شم
اگر عاشق نباشم از دل و جان
به زندان غمت خون جگر شم
اگر عاشق نباشم از دل و جان
به زندان غمت خون جگر شم
خدا جان دل از برم رفت
کجا رفت؟ چرا رفت؟
به یک تیر نگاه، اه به چشمان سیاه
خدا جان دل از برم رفت
اگر عاشق نی ام گفتارم از چیست ؟
فغان و ناله های زارم از چیست ؟
اگر عاشق نباشم از دل و جان
سر شب تا سحر بیدارم از چیست ؟
اگر عاشق نباشم از دل و جان
سر شب تا سحر بیدارم از چیست
خدا جان دل از برم رفت
کجا رفت؟ چرا رفت؟
به یک تیر نگاه، اه به چشمان سیاه
خدا جان دل از برم رفت
کجا رفت؟ چرا رفت؟
به یک تیر نگاه، اه به چشمان سیاه
خدا جان دل از برم رفت
خدا جان
خدا جان
Story line:
I came in anguish, complaining of my anguish, and I said,
By God, my soul has left my body!
The people replied coldly, “Where did it go, and what was the reason?”
I said to them, “From a single glance, ah, from those black eyes!”
I complained of my plight to the elder of the people, and I said,
By God, the candle of my soul has been extinguished forever!
The elder replied with regret, and perhaps with mockery, “How was it extinguished, and what was the reason?”
I said to them, “Those black eyes, ah, it was but a glance!”
So I began to lament my condition at every door, saying,
If I do not fall in love with him, then what is the story of this pain?
For my heart has become like a crazy, nay, like the leaves of a barren, fruitless tree!
If I do not fall in love with him, with all my heart and soul?
I will bleed, and suffer in the prison of his sorrow.
So I returned to complain to the people, and by God, my soul has left my body.
They replied again: Tell us, where did it go, and what was the reason?
So I said to them: Ah, the black eyes, with just one glance!
So I returned, overwhelmed with pain, to complain to my friends, and I said:
If I don’t speak of love, what will I say?
What is the meaning of my lament, and my anguished cries in the middle of the night?
If I don’t fall in love with him, with all my heart and soul,
why do I stay awake all night until dawn?
And in the end, I returned whence I came, without an answer.
So I said: Oh God, my soul left my body with just one glance, ah, from his black eyes.
Oh God!
Oh God!
Oh God!
As drama:
(The lover enters anxiously, clutching her heart in her hands, looking at the crowd with eyes glistening with tears and sorrow.)
The lover (in a trembling voice): Oh people… I swear to God, my soul has left my body! My candle has been extinguished!
The crowd (sitting in a circle, one drinking tea, another yawning, looking at her coldly): Excuse me… where exactly did it go? And what was the reason? Please tell us the place and time!
The lover (claps her hands together and cries out in astonishment): Where did it go?! With just one glance! Ah, those black eyes, they pierced me with an arrow, and my heart is lost!
(She goes to the elder of the group, the wise sheikh, thinking he will understand her mysticism and her love.)
The lover: Oh, our elder, save me! My soul has left me forever!
The elder (shakes his head with feigned sorrow, perhaps smiling with hidden sarcasm): How did it go out, my daughter? What is the scientific or logical reason behind this sudden extinguishing?
The Lover (looking right and left, nearly driven mad): Black eyes! I tell you, black eyes! It’s just a glance! Don’t you understand the language of eyes?!
(She moves between the doors, lamenting her situation, while everyone stares at her as if she’s speaking an alien language.)
The Lover (talking aloud to herself): If I’m not completely in love with him… then what is the story behind this pain that tears me apart?
Why has my heart become like the leaves of a mad willow tree, swaying in the wind without fruit?
Why do I stay up until dawn?
The People (interrupting her with sickening indifference): You haven’t answered our first question… Where did your soul go?
The Lover (looking up at the sky, laughing a laugh of despair, a mixture of tears and sarcasm—just like Negine’s smile in the video):
Oh God! It’s no use… My soul has left, and they’re asking for the address! With just one look from his black eyes… Oh my God!
